ABSTRACT:
A hand loom for making woven fabric is disclosed. The loom includes a frame for supporting warp threading. Warp alignment structure on the frame maintains relative alignment of each thread of the warp. A detachable heddle spindle assembly mounted to the frame includes a rotatably mounted heddle spindle transversely adjacent the warp threading. A first set of slideably positionable heddle fingers is removably installed in a locking slot formed axially on the spindle and the fingers thereof are adapted, aligned and spaced to lift predetermined ones of the warp threading as the spindle is rotated. A second set of heddle fingers is removably installed in a second locking slot axially on the spindle and radially displaced from the first set, the fingers of the second set being adapted, aligned and spaced to lift others of the warp threads. The spindle is rotated so that the first set of heddle fingers lifts some of the warp threads, a weft drawing shuttle may then be passed between the lifted threads and the remaining warp, and so on until the woven fabric is completed. The heddle fingers may have a variety of arrangements and may be programmable so that an unlimited variety of woven patterns may be woven. The warp threading may be installed as a single thread at one side of the frame and then coiled longitudinally thereabout to a desired width, or separate threads may be mounted around the frame to provide warp. A tension adjusting mechanism is provided to bias the warp to a desired tension.
